Spring Fest, A Celebration.

This post is in response to Mum's blog asking for Spring Fest posts.


A flower stall in the village, the display changes frequently.


A pretty Viola just waiting to be purchased.



Blossom on a young Pear Tree.


Tiny flowers of the Jostaberry.


A corner of a planter, the Anenome just turned up.


The wonderful red new leaves on a rose bush.


Full of flowers, the epitome of Spring.


Tulips glowing like rubies in the spring sunshine.


A tiny clump of Forget me nots with their faces gazing up to the sun.

All of these are a celebration of Spring Flora, and then there is


The firework explosion of life on a tree.

" Oh to be in England now that Spring is here"

How lucky we are to see this rebirth every year.

  1. Lovely photos Pam, yes, even when the sun is decidedly a bit on the chilly side, it's lovely to see it. Photo opportunities everywhere it seems, when the sun shines.

    1. I have gone a bit mad with my camera, I was just so pleased to have it working again.

  2. Lovely photos, I reckon you are a couple of weeks ahead of us on the East coast of Suffolk where we have the sunshine but still that chilly wind- I expect it's fresh and good for us!

    1. We are lucky that The Wash shelters us from extremes of weather most of the time. Once you get out on the footpaths that wind goes straight through.

  3. Hello there
    Just popped in to see how you saw Mum's Fest Day - lovely Spring blossoms and the upturned faces if Violas (and pansies) spell Spring for me too. Must look up Jostaberry - haven't heard of it before
    Take care

    1. I follow Mum's blog, it was the oat biscuits that were the clincher. I made them the day she posted the recipe and now make 5 batches weekly, 1 for us and 4 to order.

    1. I enjoy all the seasons and although I love hot weather Spring is just perfect for me. I can garden, walk Ben, cook myself silly and sew till the wee small hours and not turn into a sticky heap.

    1. All flowers push my buttons, the scented ones are best, have you ever smelled a Broad Bean flower? as sweet as any rose. Get that new blog going then we can share all our ideas.

  7. I only have that little clump and they appeared from nowhere, I will be guarding them fiercely, hoping they spread well.

    1. We have then all over the gravel around the greenhouse and have spent the day digging em up. I feel a bit guilty now :( can't risk them moving into the gooseberry beds you see- gooseberry bushes become weapons of mass destruction in our garden when they put growth on- I have the scars to prove it from previous weeding attempts! I have been looking through your crafting stuff for the last month- really inspirational stuff!

    1. It is a cross between a gooseberry and a blackcurrant, it looks like a very large blackcurrant but elongated like a gooseberry and tastes of both fruit, the texture is almost as firm as a gooseberry. I make jelly with it, I do not do "topping and tailing", and I do not like the hard bits in jam.
